NZ Bookshop Day was Saturday 27 October 2018

This year saw us celebrate NZ Bookshop Day for the fourth time. Thousands of people went into their local bookshops and bought books to celebrate their third place: their local bookshop. Over 60 bookshops up and down New Zealand celebrated the day with events, specials and plenty of storytelling. Click through the Flickr album below to see a few highlights from Auckland and Wellington regions.

Our posters this year declared 'Love Books, Shop Local' and 'He WhakatāHe Pukapuka - A rest means a book', alongside 'It's not hoarding if its books' and 'Love your brain. Read a book.'

Don't wait for next NZ Bookshop Day to celebrate your favourite community bookshop: head into any of our member stores now and talk to a booklover.
